Leo Jenni ngs a~k$.sq, as chairman stating that the committee had tried to look into pahas 2, Jaxon Terrace Subdivision, to determine the major useage area; finding three means of access into this subdivision--tv.ro on old 67 and one on Quince Hill road. That they had further taken into consideration the fact tha t the City Council h a d sta ted its desire that all future subdivisions require sidel~ralks. 11 Therefore, we would like to reconunend that a sidewalk on at le a st one side of the follovling mentioned ma j or use age streets be required: On Mesquite Trail form Old 67 to Y.night' s Place; on Rope Trail from Mesquite Trail to Stirrup Pla ce; on Stirrup Plac e from Old 67 to Knight's Place; on Knight 1 s Place from f·1esquite to Quince Hill Road." vJe would c a ll to the attention of the Planning Commission t E}§~ a ny future development w·ill receive Ja:;er consideration when the l at er ~Hsas a re pres entee for commission approval. One of these mentioned routes will have to be used by all trafic within the subdivision. Phase One wa s developed without side - vmlks due to the f ac t that all lots therein f ac e county roads. Mr . Bill Leha m stated tha t although the developer may, a t this time feel 1~{) _t_ d iVr'INDTES OF FEBRUARY 7-' 1 967 ~·TEET ING.=_--(Con 1 t ) tha t this is an imposition that certainly in the future he will reali ::~e the benefits from having complied with this requirement. Mr. Dick Jones_, being present spoke in behalf of his request for a waiver, stating as follows: 11 I ~t.rould like to have sidewalks but not having planned financilly to stand this additional expense I am caught at cross purposes. I ha ve checked with FHA and have been informed tha t this department does prefer sidewalks in all subdivisions and would make additional costs available for these improvements although at this time I feel that there is a discrepency betv;een the amount they 1.-1ill allow_, and the amount I figure it will take to provide sidewalks. In addition to this one objection over finances, I do no believe I h a ve cleared enough right of iNay for side·walks on this p a rticular area. i\.t this time there is the $100 .00 water connection fee, $5 0 .00 seHer tie- on, l a ck of fire protection, and no garbarge pickup, which I have to suffer in sale of this property to prospective p urchasers. According to my figures four feet sidevmlks would cost over the tota l ly financed period, under FI-LA., an average of over four-hundred dollars per lot t o each purchaser. I am presently giving more land with more improvements tha t other developers a t similar prices. It is a question of how much I should be required to give to these buyers. I do no feel that I can presently a fford to add any more additional expenses to this area; and therefore vJe emphasi z e the need for a vvaiver of sidewalks within Phase 2. I agree that side\valks are a definite improvement in any subdivision a nd if I had any choice I would prefer to put them in all of my devel- opments, but at this time it is not financially feasible to do so." Afte r discussion of both sides of the issue involved a motion was made by Johnny \\fright with second by Leo Jennings that the recommendation of the sidewalk committee be forHarded to the City Council as the Planning Commission 1 s recommendation with regard to this matter. The motion passed. An invitation from the Home Builders Association of Greater Little Rock vlas presented to the Chairman. It asked that the Planning Commission members and staff attend a dinner and the vie·wing of a film entitled ii Open Space Communities : A Nev.r Environment for America11 , to be shown at the February l LJ. monthly meeting. This is to be held in the Marion Hotel Ballroom , beginning at 6:30 for social time , dinner at 7:00 and program from 8 til 9 . Much interest was displayed by the members to attend this meeting. Chair- man '\tJhite asked that all v1ho v1e r e interested in going contact either him or the Secretary by Friday so that arrangements for travel could be made, and so that reservations coul d be made, and so that reservations coul d be submitted to J'.1r. Webber, President of the Home Builders Association. P.. letter and plat from Tommy Dupree regarding Phase One, Heraldry rvianor, a replat of plots 1 and 2 Little Rock Air Force Base Main Gate Development Area, w·as presented by the City Engineer . It vms considered as a prilimar•y plat. It was recommended by the City Engineer that the Commiss i on not wa ive curb and gutter on Gregory Street, but that the same be required before final a p provement is given to this subdivision. ~·nth that recomrn- enda tion in mind, Johnny Wright moved that prelimary plat be accepted, a second vms made by Otis Goodsell, and all members of the Commission vot ed in f a vor of acceptance.
